Order of Louis L’Amour Books

Louis L’Amour (1908-1988) was an American novelist, or as he would say, “an American storyteller.” The majority of his work was western novels (which he referred to as “Frontier novels”), although he had some science fiction and historical fiction books in there as well. Several of his books were adapted into films, including Crossfire Trail, The Iron Marshal (as Shaughnessy), Conagher, The Quick and the Dead, Down the Long Hills, The Shadow Riders, The Man Called Noon and too many others to list.

During his nearly 40 year career, L’Amour wrote 89 novels, 14 short story collections and two non-fiction books, which would categorize him as a prolific author under any criteria. All of his work remains in print to this day. Since then, several works of L’Amour’s have been published posthumously. Below is a list of Louis L’Amour’s books in order of when they were originally published (as well as in chronological order):

Notes: The Hopalong Cassidy series was originally published under the pen name Tex Burns. Whenever asked for one of these books to be autographed, L’Amour refused, insisting that “they weren’t his books.” When asked late in life about the series, L’Amour confessed he wrote the books, but only did them for the money.

The anthology The Golden West also contains stories by Zane Grey and Max Brand. A Trail of Memories: The Quotations Of Louis L’Amour was compiled by Angelique L’Amour.

If You Like Louis L’Amour Books, You’ll Love…

I’ll gladly add them if I can find out what I’m missing, along with his collections and other works. Thanks!

I have most of the books Louis wrote. I have over 105 books. There are three on this list from his WW2 adventures that I know of right off hand : Night over the Solomons, West from Singapore, Off the Mangrove Coast. There maybe a couple more but I didn’t look real close at the list.

Brandon

Is this in response to Jimbowman00’s post?

If you have any books we don’t have listed, feel free to let us know. Sometimes things slip through the cracks, especially when it’s an older author who is so prolific.

Phil Nason

Does any one know the number of books printed- by publisher -hardback, paperback, non-english translated that he wrote

Jim

Hi Brandon, in reviewing the books by Louis L’Amour, I came across a book I have that is not on your list. It is called “Big Medicine” and was published in 2008 by the Golden West Literary Agency. It has 4 short stories that were published from 1947 through 1950 and were written by Louis L’Amour under the byline Jim Mayo. Hopefully/maybe you can add another section under Louis L’Amour showing his books by Jim Mayo. Thanks, Jim

One of the two best western storytellers that have ever been published. I had over 80 volumes of his works while I served, all paperbacks, when finished with them I sent them home. When mom got the packages she would take the Louis L’Amour books out and read them before she put them away for me. Lost most of my collect to a fire and the rest was taken by my ex. Long live the novels and stories of Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey the two best western storytellers.
